## Resource

Lou Stagner is back on the Train for the first time in three years, and he brought the data. Lou, performance coach for Arccos, Princeton Golf and more, breaks down the one stat that predicts lower scores better than anything else: greens in regulation. Hit more of them, you score lower. Miss them, you shoot higher. Every single time. The problem? Everyone tells you to fix your swing. Lou tells you why that's the wrong answer and what the data actually says you should be doing instead.

Ev's Latest Rhoback Cart Ev is pumped about his latest Rhoback shipment as the weather is getting warmer and golf szn is here. He has the looper delta jogger pant, latte. A perfect, tapered golf pant. The harbor stretch sweater polo for a more elevated look for dinners, work events, and bopping around town. The tailwind performance long sleeve tee (Probably Ev's fav item that rhoback sells). A lil azalea for his 1 year old (so they can match on masters sunday), AND the lightweight new looper shorts --> Ev is most excited about a new, lighter weight version of his favorite golf shorts.
